    For The One Wrestling With Sin

    In this episode, we lean into the powerful words of Jesus: “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on, sin no more.” Many believers still wrestle with the tension between God’s grace and their ongoing struggle with sin. Are we truly crucifying the flesh daily, or are we unknowingly clinging to patterns and behaviors God has already called us out of? Together, we’ll talk about what it really means to pursue holiness in a world that is constantly pulling us back toward old habits. My prayer is that the Lord would speak directly to your heart as you listen, bringing conviction where needed and encouragement where you feel weak. If you’ve been struggling, feeling stuck, or wondering why sin seems to have such a strong grip, this episode is for you.  ✨ Like, comment, and share to help spread the Word of God!

    Want God to Use You? It Starts With a Willing Heart

    In this episode, I share a story of an unexpected moment from my trip to Virginia Beach—one that revealed both God’s pursuit of us and the importance of having a willing heart. After confronting the hidden anger I carried toward God (as shared in the last episode), the Lord led me into a powerful encounter with a homeless man. This episode explores what it truly means to pray, “Lord, use me,” and then actually be ready when opportunities appear. From Scripture in Luke 15 and Genesis 3, to a vulnerable conversation over pancakes, you’ll hear how God pursues the lost, how He uses ordinary people to carry His heart, and how He can use your pain to reach someone else’s. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, hesitation, or the desire to be used by Him, this story will challenge, encourage, and inspire you to walk boldly in obedience. ✨ Like, comment, and share to help spread the Word of God!

    When Anger Becomes Bitterness | Steps to Freedom

    Anger isn’t always a sin—but when left unchecked, it can grow into bitterness and create distance between you and God. In this episode, I share my personal journey of wrestling with anger toward God, how I recognized bitterness taking root in my heart, and the steps Scripture guided me through to find healing. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, distant from God, or weighed down by unspoken emotions, this episode offers encouragement, practical steps, and hope for surrendering your anger and walking in freedom. Mentioned Scriptures:Psalm 4:4, James 1:19–22, Ephesians 4:26–27, Mark 3:1–5, John 2:13–17, Proverbs 29:11, Proverbs 14:17, Ephesians 4:29, Psalm 139:23–24, James 5:16, Psalm 91, Psalm 96 The Greek word for zeal is zēlos: which is described as a "reaction of the divine nature against sin." It’s not reckless or uncontrolled—it’s passionate, purposeful, and rooted in justice. ✨ Like, comment, and share to help spread the Word of God.

    Darkness Cannot Hide You | For The One Wrestling with Depression

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains honest conversations about depression, spiritual oppression, and suicidal ideations. If you are currently struggling, please listen with care. Help is available. You can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. This episode is for the one walking through depression, who feels abandoned, and under spiritual attacks. Through a vulnerable personal story and readings of scripture we uncover how God meets us in the valley, how He lovingly corrects us, and how He leads us back to truth when the lies of the enemy feel easier to believe. We talk about spiritual oppression, wrestling with God’s silence, and how the Lord uses His Word, community, and even medical care to bring light in dark places. You’ll learn how to pray through the battle, how to cling to God when your heart is failing, and how to recognize His voice in the middle of mental warfare. If you’ve been asking God where He is in your pain, this episode is for you.

    Show Me Your Glory | Encountering the Presence of God

    This episode is an invitation to hunger for the presence of God, to get low before Him, and to seek His glory not from a place of demand, but from surrender. In this episode, we dive deep into Exodus 33 and explore Moses’ powerful statement: “Show me your glory.” What does it truly mean to desire the presence of God? Through a careful breakdown of Exodus 33:12–23, we examine Moses’ heart posture, humility, and dependence on God’s presence rather than his own strength. This teaching reflects on how God reveals His glory to the humble, why His presence distinguishes His people, and how encounters with God sustain us through weakness, calling, and obedience. We also connect Moses’ posture to 1 Peter 5:5–6, reminding us that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. If you are longing for a deeper encounter with God, desiring His presence, or walking through a season where you know you cannot move forward without Him—this episode is for you. 📖 Scriptures covered: Exodus 33:12–23 Exodus 24:12–18 1 Peter 5:5–6 ✨ Like, comment, and share to help spread the Word of God. 👉 Podcast Streaming Platforms: https://beacons.ai/thesecretplaceministry/podcast 👉 Email Community: https://beacons.ai/thesecretplaceministry/email 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesecretplace_ministry/ 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thesecretplaceministry 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Secret-Place-Ministry/100067760636615/?mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=HPkCz81qtVDLcdsL&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1GBKE5hvMV%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr 👉 Read the blog:https://www.thesecretplaceministry.com/blog If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, share, and leave a review—it helps more people find the truth of God’s Word!
